Uniforms, Badges and other Insignia

Military Uniforms helped identify the enemy in battle, but also allow researchers to
indentify their ancestors and the regiments, squadrons and other services that they served
in. Often, just a cap badge can be used to pin-point both the service and the era.

This is a forum site to help with identification of, or questions about military badges. There are also good clear pictures of badges that may help in your research. Also look under badges awaiting categorisation. Register for free to use the forum.
